The practice of using a slow cooker for certain recipes originated for two main reasons – first, the convenience of cooking without babysitting, and secondly, the belief that slow cooking is good for nutrients in food. This is why people frequently adopt slow cooking for recipes like bone broth.

Though conventional slow cooking may seem a great invention, looking a little deeper you will find that it’s not as beneficial as it seems: Continue reading Slow cooking doesn’t have to be “Slow” anymore using this ancient art of cooking

If you are into healthy eating, then the highly nutritious beans and lentils can be a great choice. The conventional way would be pressure cooking beans and lentils in a stainless steel or aluminum pressure cooker. They cook faster this way because of the high amounts of pressure that builds up inside these kind of pots.

This method surely seems convenient but have you considered what happens to the health & nutritional value of your wisely chosen ingredients? Let’s find out: Continue reading Pressure Cooking Beans and Lentils in Clay Cookware: What are the benefits?

Are you used to making your bone broth in a conventional s-l-o-www cooker? If yes, it’s time you switch to this new yet most time-honored method of cooking that is not just faster but a lot healthier too!  

Conventional slow cooking pots not only take a really long time but are also known to leach Lead (a neurotoxin) and other metals. Not only is LEAD dangerous, any heavy metal like aluminum, cadmium, chromium, nickel (from metal and chemical based cookware) are all very dangerous when ingested through food as they get assimilated in the body, and these metal ions replace essential nutrients in cells and disrupt their normal function. So, it is imperative that there be NO lead or other heavy metals in your cooking pot. Continue reading Start making your bone broth in 100% no lead, fast cooker today, and enjoy the great benefits of healthier & nutritious, non-toxic broth!

Have you been looking for a healthy rice and grains cooker, one that is not made with metals or chemicals? You are in the right direction because you are aware that these metals and chemical coating from the pot reactively leach into the food – any food you cook in them.

This happens because all metals are innately reactive and food is a biochemical entity. The process of cooking is actually a beautiful chemistry of raw food molecules breaking down into cooked, in the presence of heat, water and several bio-chemicals or nutrients! At this time if the food is in close contact with volatile elements like metals and chemicals form the cooking pot, these elements inevitably leach into the food and form pseudo-nutrients. When this contaminated food is regularly ingested, the toxins start accumulating in the cells, tissues, blood and organs causing detrimental changes.

‘What is steam?’ This question might seem silly but by the time you are done reading this article, I promise you will understand its significance.

How does your pressure cooker handle steam? If you are using a conventional pressure cooker with metal or ceramic pot, the steam is most likely released through the vents before the pot can be opened. But if you want to cook healthy, you would never want your cookware to handle steam this way.

What is Steam?

The steam leaving the pot in this way is essentially water-soluble nutrients that your body needs on a daily basis, as they are not stored in the body. 9 out of the 13 vitamins and minerals needed in the body are water-soluble. They are the B vitamins — folate, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 — and vitamin C. This means they need to be an integral part of your everyday diet! Continue reading What is Steam? Why Your Pressure Cooker Must Preserve It?

A healthy Dutch oven would be the one that cooks food in the healthiest and safest way possible. If you are planning to buy a Dutch oven in Boston, the first thing that comes to mind is going to a local home goods store to look for the one. This would have been a great option just if your health didn’t depend on it!

The cookware available in the market are typically made from metals, alloys, ceramics and similar materials that essentially contain metals (in the form of metal compounds) and/or chemicals (used for finishing, glazing or as enamels). This cookware reactively leaches metals and chemicals while cooking and contaminate food. The nutrients are destroyed as well – some react to the metals to form toxic compounds and others are destroyed by harsh near infrared heat. And finally, the water-soluble nutrients are lost as steam that is constantly leaving the pot. Would you want to buy such unhealthy cookware? Continue reading Healthy Dutch Oven in Boston – Where to Buy and Why?

Have you ever tried making yogurt at home? If yes, you must be aware of all the challenges of making it thick and delicious – similar to the store bought one. If you don’t know the right way of making, it may turn out runny or sour and the excess water needs straining which also strains out the liquid probiotics.

After all, it’s so delicious and healthy – with so many health benefits for people of all age groups. But its only healthy when it is free from harmful additives like gelatin (glue made from animal bones), pectin (a bio-polymer acid, lab-made ingredient), etc. Continue reading Did you know Making Yogurt in Clay Takes Just 10 minutes?

Cooking healthy food calls not just for using healthy and ingredients but also using 100% non-toxic kitchenware. This is because food is a biochemical entity and when it comes in contact with a toxic and reactive material, these toxins reactively leach into food. This begs an important question: which ones are non-toxic kitchenware?   Continue reading Non-toxic Kitchenware: Which ones and Where to get it?

Heavy metals are chemical elements with relatively high density and are toxic at low concentrations. Examples are nickel, cadmium, chromium, lead, iron, copper, aluminum, cobalt, arsenic, etc. 

Although every health enthusiast takes care not to let any heavy metals enter into their food and water, he or she often overlooks the fact that metals can leach into food from their cooking pots. Unfortunately, most conventional pressure cookers are made of heavy metals!  Continue reading A Pressure Cooker Free of Heavy Metals
